Brittany Files

RYT 200; Reiki Level 2

​

Brittany started her yoga journey in 2016, taking a few classes as time permitted. It wasn’t until 2018 that Brittany really started to give herself to her practice. Yoga to Brittany is not just a physical practice, but a mental, emotional, and spiritually grounding practice. Yoga helps her with stress management, staying grounded in the present moment, and allowing time for her to be courteous to both her mind and her body. It wasn’t until she started teacher training that she began to really dig deeper into her practice. All around Brittany can see positive improvements within herself. Yoga is a practice and she realized that it’s okay to not be perfect at something. Yoga has made Brittany realize that it’s okay to fall down as long as you get back up and keep trying. Showing up for herself to her mat on a regular basis helped her to see true improvements within herself not just physically, but mentally. Yoga is her favorite self-care commitment to herself, Brittany’s hope as a teacher is that she can share her light with others in a positive and supportive way.

RYT 200

​

Carrie Winchel, RYT 200, is a native of the Springfield area. Carrie believes in the power of yoga to undo damage everyday life does to the mind, body, and spirit. After beginning her practice nearly a decade ago in an effort to try something new, the “magic” of yoga kept her coming back for years until she earned her 200-hour certification with Emery Bryant Yoga in 2021. Carrie’s passion is to share yoga with people who have never tried it and to bring a fresh, fun perspective to those who have been practicing for years, through music and making powerful poses accessible. When she isn’t in class or creating sequences at home, you’ll find Carrie telling her two elderly dogs how handsome they are, listening to music, or nerding out about pro wrestling.

Courtney Krueger

RYT 200

​

I began yoga five years ago, going to classes with my mom and sister at my hometown studio in Wisconsin. It was so easy to fall in love with the movement, but the challenge of finding fluidity in the breath and focusing the mind was what brought me back to the mat each time. After finishing my 200RYT in the summer of 2019, I've loved watching my students find their strength and grow their confidence by seeing what their body was capable of; either finding the balance in advanced postures or listening to their breath to slow down. Early this year, I completed a Trauma-Based training and an Ayurveda specialist certification to provide a welcoming and healing environment for each and every student. I can't wait to see you all on your mats.

​

Ever the student, James teaches with focus and intention as he skillfully guides his students into proper alignment. He balances his studious approach with delightful “Georgia humor”, to lighten the mood and engage his class! James has been practicing yoga for eleven years and more specifically Hot Yoga. He came to yoga trying to recover from a series of knee and shoulder injuries from years in the ARMY (jumping out of perfectly good airplanes) and years of distance running. After a few months in the hot room, the recovery was amazing and the addiction to yoga had begun. The first couple of years were spent trying to understand and master yoga fundamentals. His personal practice then evolved into a Boot Camp/Power Yoga practice and also traditional style Vinyasa. Then the desire increased to dig deeper into not only his yoga practice but also to better understand yoga philosophy and history. This was a life changing series of revelations. James completed his RYT-200 teacher training in 2021 and was a former ARMY Master Fitness Trainer. He believes that yoga should be accessible to everyone, regardless of fitness level, age, or ability. He also believes (from personal experience) that yoga can be life changing for those suffering from physical and emotional trauma.

Kim Fenton

E-RYT 200, YACEP

​

One night, at a weekly wine tasting, my whole life changed.  That night, a friend mentioned that I should take a yoga class with her in the morning.  She said a couple hippy dippy things that I didn’t understand, but I agreed to go.  It took about 30 minutes of immense sweat to rid my body of the alcohol.  When this happened, it was like I sobered up to more than just the previous night.  All the excuses, the ideologies, the identities I associated with, they left me for the brief remainder of class.  I was left with only consciousness and breath.  This made me wildly uncomfortable, but I was too curious to stop.  Each day I came I was terrified to meet the woman I knew I’d find on my mat.  But, everyday she was worth the process.  Overtime, I got to know this woman more and more.  Now I’m able to find her on and off my mat.  I found a freedom that no one can take from me.  This is why I practice yoga.

Mandy Urban

RYT 200, Reiki Level 2

​

Mandy's free spirited yet deep-thinking approach shines as she teaches.  This balances the gratefulness with which she demonstrates poses, making postures easier for her students to understand.  She provides the basic structure, then allows the freedom to experiment and play.  When off the mat, Mandy can be found canoeing down the river, playing in the dirt, collecting rocks, or growing flowers!  She loves learning about energy, other cultures, and exploring ethnic cuisine.  She's not afraid to be herself and she invites you not to be either! Join her as she flows seamlessly from one posture to the next. 

Monica Hall

RYT 200

​

Monica is an RYT 200 with 11 years of yoga experience.  As with may people, injury brought her into the practice, not knowing what to expect.  After a few months of consistent practice, her injury stopped being a burden to her everyday life; with the very common side effect of better mental health!  Her passion for yoga grew over the years so much that she wanted to share her love for yoga with others.  She's a former Respiratory Therapist with 10 years of experience, so to say the least, breath, circulation, and mobility are very important aspects of her practice.  She is a mom of 3 wonderful children with a loving, supportive partner who is always there to support her dreams.  Her area of yoga is mostly Vinyasa of all types, focusing on energetic, purposeful, and intentional flows.  Monica's goal is to help you feel the best you can by the end of her class.

Hi, I’m Nikki.  I’ve been teaching yoga since 2017, practicing since 1996. I’ve traveled all over the US and have trained or hold certifications in Yin, Restorative, Yoga Nidra, Children’s Movement, MBSR, Chair and Fusion.  I have been fortunate to study under some extraordinary mentors who teach an all-inclusive style practice.  I am also a momma of 2 boys that you might see from time to time in my classes. 

I hold space for trauma sensitive movement and breath. “We practice sitting on our mats in discomfort, and our will to stay becomes stronger.  We train our minds to be less reactive, to stay, to breathe until it passes. We practice on our mats to breathe a little easier.. off our mats.”
